Woodland Maiden by Lynne Moncrieff

Maybe you saw the That’s Crafty! shows on HOCHANDA,
lots of fabulous new products released.
Of course, the D.T. are the lucky ones who receive some of the products,
pre-release, to have a play with and create samples for the HOCHANDA shows.

This wreath is one of my samples. The greyboard leaves and acorns I received
along with the Bronze and Copper acrylics, pointed me in the direction of an
Autumnal wreath.

Copper glittered tree bark and small cones were lovely
gifts from Dorthe!

Instructions

Apply Infusions to wreath and acorns and leaves.

If you are a clean crafter (!) then either avoid my
technique or wear disposable gloves. If you
are a messy crafter, pointing a messy finger firmly in my own direction, then
enjoy getting messy!

Apply acrylics onto craft mat. I worked while the greyboard pieces were
still wet from the Infusions. Place the
items onto the paint, pressing down into the paint. Repeat this for all the elements
required. While working with the
Infusions, I also stained silk sari ribbon.

Stamp woman onto cardstock, fussy cut before adhering
to top of wreath, layering with that lovely piece of tree bark. To her head, adhere a piece of broken twig
from the cones. Begin to layer the
various stained/painted leaves, creating dimension as they are layered to the
wreath.

Onto right side, tie lengths of the stained silk sari
ribbon and near to bottom of wreath, tie more stained sari ribbon into a
bow. Finally, tuck ends of branches of
cones between layered leaves.

The Character Constructions stamp (one of my absolute
favourites) is not available on the That’s Crafty! site but Laura will special
order any Character Constructions stamps for you.

She really is a beautiful stamp, Lynne, and here, you transformed her to a woodland woman reindeer (in my fantasy ) --surrounded ,in the golden wood ,of all the autumnal`s stunning golden and brown colors from dried leaves and the restful peace, now soon starting in nature, around us . It is a gorgeous wreath, my dear, I so love it !! xxx

This looked amazing on TV Lynne and I understood exactly how you felt working with those paints previously working with 3 of the Metallic paints myself. They give the most amazing glow along with texture, it's as if you have picked a handful of fallen leaves and placed them around the wreath to extend their beauty just a little longer...The beauty of Autumn xx
